Hi ppl
i cant help wondering this, we all know fish sleep and the clown loaches go over on their sides to sleep, but why?, as in why do they do this?
where did they learn this? why is it only way they can sleep? Are thye reincarnated humans ,as they roll about from side to side to get comfy,!! is it an organ thing
Any ideas guys lol lol

just loaches being loaches They aren't the only loaches that do that. My yoyos and angelicus do that also. Maybe it helps them squeeze into smaller places.

Hi i read some where that the tighter the place they can get in to the better ,so they lay on there sides and it makes them feel safe ,because they think they are in a relay tight space

Hi boff ours do go into tight spaces,i.e sqeeze in beside the filter ect, but also lie out in open on the bow of the boat,on top of the flower pot in the plumbing pipe thats 2 inch in diameter basically do it anywhere not just tight spaces lol lol AMAZING

Mine just seem to do it inside there clay pipe which is about the same size as yours .But each clown seems to have its own personalty and i love watching them .

Yes clowns are wonderful and I could talk about them all night also(and take pics see my gallery ) i'll have to see about getting pics of my angelicus, unlike the yoyos they are a bit shy.
